HON J D BOTKIN CONGRESSMAN-AT-LARGE FROM KANSAS
In a recent letter to Dr Hartman Congressman Botkin of Winfield Kan
whose fame is a national one says of Peruna
My Dear Doctor It gives me pleasure to certify to the excellent curative
qualities ot your medicines Peruna and Manalin I have been afflicted more
or less for a quarter of a century with catarrh of the stomach and constipation
A residence in Washington has increased these troubles A few bottles ofyout
medicine have given me almost complete relief and I am sure that a continua
tion of them will effect a permanent cure Peruna is surely a wonderful rem
edy for catarrhal affections J D Botkin Congressman-at-Large
BOTKIN is one of
CONGRESSMAN and best
known men in the State of Kan
sas Whatever he may say on any
subject will be accepted by the people
as the truth So famous a remedy as
Peruna could not have well escaped the
attention of so famous a man He not
only has heard of the remedy but he
has used it and was relieved of an af
fliction of twenty five years standing
Peruna is the one internal remedy that
cures chronic catarrh It cures catarrh
wherever located This is a fact that
the people are rapidly finding out but
there are still a large multitude who
need to know it
Mr Frank Richter of Winona
Minn says in a letter to The Peruna
Medicine Company
As a remedy tor catarrh I take
pleasure in recommending Peruna for
catarrh of the stomach I know what it
is to be afflicted witlf this awful dis
ease and consider it my duty to say
a word in behalf of the remedy which
gave me such relief Peruna cured me
and I know it will cure any one else
who suffers from this disease It gives
me great pleasure to testify to the cur
ative effects of this medicine Peruna
is a well tested and frequently used
remedy and for catarrh of the stom
ach It Is unsurpassed
My catarrh was principally located
in my head and stomach I tried many
remedies without success I tried sev
eral doctors but they were unable to
cure me I read of Peruna in the pa
pers and five bottles cured me
Prank Richter
The gastric Juice is seeded by the
mucous follicles of the stomach When
this juice is normal it digests dis
solves the food without producing any
disturbance whatever If however the
gastric juice is not normal digestion
causes many disagreeable symptoms
This condition is known as indigestion
i Peruna will cure this
Mrs Selina Tanner Athens 0
writes I cannot find words to express
my thanks for
Mrs Selina Tanner
your kind advice
I never once
thought I had ca
tarrh of the sto
mach I com
menced taking
Peruna as you
directed My sto
mach continued
to hurt me for
about two weeks
after I began the
medicine and
then it stopped I
now have a good
appetite while
before I was
nearly starved
Mrs Selina Tanner
Mr L 0 Marble of Geneva Neb
writes
I do believe that my catarrh is en
tirely cured I have not had any trouble
with my stomach for a long time I am
as well as one of my age could expect
seventy years I have had the ca
tarrh ever since I was a young man
and have doctored for it for years and
got very little better but thanks to you
and your Peruna and Manalin I believe
I am well of it I can eat anything now
and it doesnt hurt me and Peruna is
the only thing I have ever found that
will cure the catarrh I believe it is the
only cure for catarrh and I hope every
one troubled with catarrh -will try Pe
runa and be cured L 0 Marble
If you do not derive prompt and sat
isfactory results from the use of Pe
runa write at once to Dr Hartman

INDIAN MSI0NARVS STORY
Tears of Toilsome Ministry Amosc tho
Chootawa
Little York Ind April 1 Special
Twenty five years ago the Rev C
H Thompson left Indiana For a
timo he preached in Arkansas after
wards entering on the regular mission
ary work among the Choctaw Indians
For five years he lived and labored
among the full bloods of the western
prairies until on April 5th 1885 hav
ing lost his wife he left the circuit
on which he had preached so long and
commenced traveling missionary
work among the Indians of the various
tribes scattered in the west
This irregular work involved a great
deal of travel over tho prairies The
drinking of so much alkali water
brought on kidney troubles which
terminated in Diabetes
Finally while laboring among tho
Creek Indians at Wagoner Indian
Territory this noble man was strick
en down completely A Chicago spe
cialist was summoned and after a
careful examination declared that there
was not the slightest chance of his re
covery Besides the prescriptions of
the doctors he tried many other medi
cines but all to no avail He says
I had concluded that my days were
drawing to a close when I picked up
an almanac telling of the cures of Dia
betes by the use of Dodds Kidney Pills
I sent for two boxes I gained strength
and spirits from the time I commenced
to use them and so I sent for more I
am now completely cured and have
not the slightest symptom of my old
trouble
I am 68 years of age I tell every
body of the wonders Dodds Kidney
Pills have done for me I can certainly
endorse them heartily and vouch that
they are all that Is claimed for them
They have certainly been a God send
to me
Dodds Kidney Pills are the only
Remedy that has ever cured Brights
Disease Diabetes or Dropsy and they
never fail
Restricted to Lanno
As finally passed the new law in
South Carolina against the pistol-carrying
